Unfinished Business: Being a woman is complicated | Opinion

Being born a female, I learned very young that everyone felt entitled to tell me their opinion and give their advice on how I should live. Living every day as both Black and female takes that to a totally different level.

Even as an adult woman, we are told when to have children, when not to have children; how to raise those children, if we should even have children, what type of job we deserve, what type of clothes to wear, hairstyles, and the list goes on and on. It’s insane how many people think it’s totally acceptable to tell others how to live their lives.

Now, I am a very proud Democrat, but let’s be honest. If this comment were made to a Democratic woman, there would have been a lot more outrage at this sexist comment. But anyone with a daily TV show is going to say something stupid, ill-considered or offensive sooner or later. That shouldn’t automatically mean you lose your show or get yanked from the air. Still, two days off doesn’t seem like much of a punishment.

Now, we all have opinions. Me, included. However, opinions/advice, are not facts! There is a built-in assumption that the advice-giver knows better – and with that assumption comes judgment. But none of us can judge anyone else’s lives. We are not them.

...very complicated...and quite confusing...

I’m sure being a woman is complicated when an entire political party can’t tell you what is a woman
